thank you!
None of them were white
For me Amarna period is one of the most fascinating historical periods in sense of art. It appears that this period gave craftsmen the freedom of artistic expression which allowed them to create "realistic" sculptures. And the bust of Nefertiti is one of my the most favorite pieces of the Egyptian art.
That's a great point. Amarna period art is probably the most beautiful art from all of ancient Egyptian history.
@@HistoryExplained I learned of the Nefertiti and Akhenaten in 1954 through watching the film "" The Egyptian", with all it faults I still watch it now, I have been fascinated in ancient Egypt ever since, traying to connect Biblical text to the chronology of the Pharaohs involved, watched many documents, by so called experts. Yes the 18th dynasty was the most interesting, fascinating talked about period of ancient Egypt
I agree
History is very important. I do appreciate getting Revelations of the possible circumstances at the time. It reminds me also of Archeology findings just recently. It tends to tie in. Thankyou for sharing.
The bust of Nefertiti may be a forgery but the museum where its held won't allow scientists to conduct tests and put the speculation to rest. It would be unfortunate if it was discovered that the most famous bust in the world was a fake but considering that ancient Egyptian art is not known for naturalistic depictions it is a possibility.
I find it criminal that Hollywood has produced so many movies about Cleopatra yet hardly any about other famous Egyptian women like Nefertiti and Hatshepsut.
Edit: My original post was just an observation and not intended to spark a race debate down in the comments. Lol
cleo was white sooo yeah
Celo was Greek (white)
@@tonezchannel1711 I know. I meant Egyptian in the sense that she was born and raised there as well as spoke the language.
@@swnerd-2320 I think she was brought there
There’s a series about hepshetsup
There's so many gaps in our knowledge due to fragmentary sources from the Amarna period. It'd be great to find just even a little about what really happened during Nefertiti's life. Who she was, where she came from, and if she really did become the singular ruler of Egypt after Akhenaten's death. It's fun to speculate. Thanks for the video.
I agree! There's so much unknown info behind figures from so long ago!
She believed in monotheism. The only creator of the universe
Despite enthusiasm for Akhenaten and Nefertiti as the first monotheists, it has become increasingly clear that the only monotheistic god being worshiped in Akhentaten was Akhenaten and many of the residents were abused, starved, and worked to death very young. He may have been hated for very good reason.
We don’t know where she came from, who her parents were, or if she did become Akhenaten’s heir. Unless somebody discovers ancient writings, new tombs, etc. we won’t know. Actually we know more about the so called Amarna period- the town was named Akhetaten - than other Egyptian periods. Egyptians almost always used titles and ancestors and other information to advertise important people in their tombs or when they were mentioned. If you were a kings daughter or your father was an important person you wanted that known. If you didn’t mention any such thing, you probably weren’t anyone important. I suspect Amonhotep lll, who had hundreds of women from many other countries in his numerous harems, probably brought one of the most beautiful to his court-attractive women were called ornaments of the court and decorated the palace with their presence. She was probably a pretty face, but one who was clever as well, and made the most of her thrall over a rather unattractive man, the son of the pharaoh. We may never know who she was, but if she is KV21B, she was probably murdered in a coup with her daughter Ankhesenamon. DNA tells us KV21A was the mother of the fetuses found in Tutankhamen’s tomb and most likely Ankhesenamon, and the closely related older woman found with her either a sister or mother, and since she was too old to be a sister, mother fits better. Nefertiti was Ankhesenamon’s mother. KV21B is the best candidate for Nefertiti. Read Dennis Forbes excellent book, ‘Bones in a Basket’ and look up KV21B for more information.
Well, you could blame the Priests of Caenac for that lack of records of the Amarna royalties... After the death of Tutenkhamun, the priest erased their records so that they will not be remembered by the future generations, as they're heretics of the main religion of Ancient Egypt....
As an Egyptology student (first) and Egyptian (Second) , I have to say that every line is completely on point, and I frickin love this channel
Thank you!
You people are full of crap that bust of nefertiti is a fake that not her she was not of European origin at all stop lying people the only thing white people did was the destruction of ancient kemet are what u call Egypt
Why would an Egyptian need to even study Egyptology?
Further, why would you put "student of Egyptology" in a rank of importance over actually being an Egyptian?
I'm just incredibly confused by this, and then the "fricken" that's a very American term.
Strange.
@@glennblair145 why would he put "student of Egytology" first, as if it signifies importance over actually being an Egyptian?
I'm not sure he's being honest.
@@please.665 yea he lying nothing he said is true
Hatshepsut will always be better in my opinion but Nefertiti was still pretty awesome 👏🏽
I understand and agree. Hatshepsut's reign of over twenty years is mindblowingly impressive. A women ruling over all men in the most powerful empire on Earth at the time for so long is simply remarkable! Not to mention that she was actually one of the most accomplished pharaohs of all time as well...🤯
Neffretti better
Hatshepsut ruled an empire with almost zero wars
Nefertiti was the wife of a mad man who lost the kingdom
@@shakalalalalkh1098 neffretti still the prettiest queen of ancient Egypt
@@wisediva1490 hard to disagree
I love how history is explained on your channel so easy to understand 😍. Take care!
I appreciate that very much!
A fantastic, informative video, as always.
Thank you James.
I Love Nefertiti! She was beautiful and kind-hearted. Bad people hate and envy beautiful people with good souls.
Great job, as always. Thanks ,😊
Thanks Bishop!

Another great video. Thank you.
Appreciate that John.
I love your videos, with they would come out more often
I really appreciate that. I hope to increase the frequency going forward.
Nice video man, I really like you narration. Do you intend in the future to do more generals subjects of ancient time ? There aren't many youtubers on the bronze age period.
Anyway, have a nice day !
Thanks Thomas! The voice actor Christian H. Miles is so incredibly talented and his narrations are a major reason why this channel has seen the level of success it has! I'm so thankful to him! I listed the next 10 figures I'll be covering in a recent community post. My plan is to keep the order chronological for as long as possible.
I wish you made many more videos on this channel. The quality of your videos is outstanding.
Loved the video very informative
Thanks Brittany!
Nice animations and graphics of the notables in question. A lot of work went into this and it paid off wonderfully, it was quite captivating and very watchable.
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS VID 😊💕
Great video!
Another nice 10 minute mark. 👌
Thank you! It's so frustrating having that extra 1 second in th final time. I still haven't figured why it's happening. In Premiere Pro it shows 10:00, but on YT it shows 10:01... 😑
@@HistoryExplained I think CZcams always does that. Maybe try do 9:59 video next time then.
@@deteon1418 yea you’re right.
Another fantastic video. You do an excellent work of making these both fascinating, easy to follow, and detailed.
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for your support Akernis!
I am truly Loving Your Work!
I really appreciate that!
Ahhh!! Can’t believe I woke up to a new vid from my pal History Explained! Super awesome video as always my friend. You always pack so much info and history into each one. Well done 👍
Thanks so much Tim!
Man this is top notch work
Thank you so much!
This is an incredible overview of ancient Egypt’s entire history! You’re a huge inspiration to Us!
This channel needs more than 29K subs
Thanks!
@@HistoryExplained my theory is that your current type of content that you cover is not popular enough with the masses for it to be recommended in their feeds. My advice is to have patience and continue doing them, as Roman history has been getting a lot of popularity lately on CZcams and you aren't far from it
Magnificent History of Egypt Thanks for Sharing 💚🌅🌠
You’re very welcome Fatima :)
Excellent video ❤
Excellent presentation 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks very much!
another great vid!
Thank you! Our channel concepts are very similar. I really like the artwork in your videos! Good luck!

great video😍😍😍
Thank you Benjamin! 😃
I was subscribed you channel by seeing one vedio. I liked your depict very much. Plz do more on egypt.....
I appreciate that!
Nefertit's story ws beautifully told; thank you so much. What a difficult time it must have been!
I’m happy you enjoyed it Edie.
This video was very interesting and informative; I learned a lot about this incredible figure, so thank you very much for uploading this :) It is believed that her mummy *may* have been found but I'm not sure... Hatshepsut *(the pharaoh AND the picture XD)* is still my favourite 😎Keep up the great work, guys!
I appreciate you writing this and am happy you found it informative. I’ve been anticipating the announcement of her discovery :)
great video.
I appreciate it Wardale
Awesome video, the quality is on point as always!
Also, you'll hit 30k soon, congrats ✌
It is remarkable how much time you take to make the videos perfect, this will make your channel succeed in the long run!
Thank you very much my friend. I greatly appreciate your encouragement and support!
@@HistoryExplained no problem 🤜🤛
I hope u make videos along with the list of the kings of egypt, it will be easy to understand king before or after.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@HistoryExplained you are awesome
Excellent!
Thank you Veridiana!
An excellent presentation.
Thank you Herman!
Amazing information 👌
Thank you Courtney!
I like her hat...more women should wear those
I agree haha
It is her crown not hat
If they African they can wear it. Not anyone else or else that would be cultural appropriation
@@melanated6703 specifically, people of Egypt
It's to cover her alien head. She's got a conehead.
I heard your voice and immediately I had the image of you spring to my mind. How many channels do you narrate for?
I hire him to narrate my videos
I love the narrator's storytelling voice ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
The fact that this video and channel in general does not have millions of views, infuriates me beyond words. The background music is epic, the content legendary! I'm seriously salty.
Thank you Jordan!
Not everyone is interested in Ancient Egypt. It's the home for The Muslims, stemming from Abraham's servent Hagar and their son Ishmael. Christianity views Ancient Egypt as idolatrous.
You mentioned they haven't found her tomb but several mummies have been found that Egyptologists believe could be her...
Thanks for sharing!
She or her children probably arranged for her body to be hidden or disguised as a servant of some sort.
Yes, kv21-a and kv21-b. I have long maintained kv21-b is Nefertiti and now apparently Hawass has figured this out and gearing up to take total credit. What else is new?
@@cathaymcrae2401 read a bit on the annunaki- it's all a bit of a conspiracy but it may ne why her dna and those of many mummies have not be tested
We watched your video in my school during our Egyptian unit. Btw I request you make a video about the history of King Tutankhamen.
Very interesting and informative video. Thank you!
Hey @HistoryExplained, what is the great music when the channel icon spartan taps his foot on the ground?
I actually have the info on my 2nf laptop. I’ll find out & let ya kno :)
Woot!!
😄
The Tut exhibit stopped in Minneapolis a few years ago. I noticed that, on a large statue of Atkenat....his ears are pointed, almost like a Vulcan.
Very cool! Yea Akhenaten was the most alien looking pharaoh by far
Interesting video
Thank you Peter

Thanks for sharing Angela
Isn't high princess supposed to be a spiritual teacher , highly educated in all the subjects of that era? She is the female counterpart of priest and is advicer and councillor to the king in managing law and order of the land, astrology or reading the almanac, etc. She is supposed to have the knowledge of the stars, movement of water bodies, philosophy. She is seen with a crown of moon, a septor indicating her position and the tora which is the list of all the laws of that land. And High Priestess is usually the sister of pharaoh . High Priestesses don't marry . They are considered to possess divine knowledge of the Universe. We can still find remains of ancient temples of these spiritual figures. How is Nefertiti a High Priestess? She was the Queen Mother of a pharaoh who died of probably some disease when he was 16 or 17 years old. Nefertiti's husband died when Tutenkhamen was still an infant. So Nefertiti had to rule untill he was old enough to be the king. It is said that many people died due to some mysterious disease and Nefertiti's complete family died of that disease. In order to protect afterlife of the young pharaoh, Tutenkhamen, a secret curse was written on the coffin. It was a warning that whoso ever disturbed the Pharaoh's body would die. Ancient Egyptians believed that life exists after death.
Before this Era they ruled together patriarchy show up and now here we all are. Unbalanced. No one knowing the Goddess thereby not knowing the holey spirit. May she ever rest on God's smile... Ashe. May all be uncoverd and the children have peace.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching Lynn!
Brilliant!
Thanks Marian
These names though… I love them. They sound so empowered, so entitled, so so so NEFERTITI..
Glad you love them :)
I loved the video... Great work... I love ancient Egypt.. Mystery and culture... I also like the icon of ancient spartan soldier.. Λ = Λακεδαιμων = Lakedemon means spartan in ancient Greek I m from Greece I love our history I m so proud... Spartans were the example of a few resist the many... Because the right always wins..
Best wishes for the new year, Katerina
Thank you so much Katerina!
For what is you praud 🤣😂😭you greek stople history from masedonian cleopatra is masedonian
Stole stole and always stole bat is end
Hi, do you have a source for the identification of the busts/pics of the princesses? I did my own exercise and got slightly different results ...
Nefertiti and Hatshepsut are two remarkable women. I really admire their intelligence and strength. Two feminist icons IMO.
I agree Leticia!
@@HistoryExplained Cleopatra was the first Egyptian queen to have sex appeal she was Marilyn Monroe and the singer Sade thounds of years before marylin & Sade was born
If intelligence and strength then not feminist ;)
They weren’t feminist, yuck
Its like I'm in another world
It'll take time for me to understand all of this but it is fascinating atst
That's how I feel about ancient Egyptian history :)
I wonder if we will ever find her tomb.
Me too. That would be such an incredible discovery!
The dead should be left alone. It’s not within our rights to open her tomb.
She is the Mother of Justice
Thanks for watching
She's the most famous Egyptian royal. Lots of mysteries surround her making her a lot more interesting. Waiting for her tomb to be discovered. Some even suggest she had alien origin.
LEAVE HER TOMB ALONEE 😭
Thanks for sharing!
My neighbor named one of her cats Nefertiti and it's not hard to see why. She's a boss!
That’s a cool name. I volunteer cat rescue and awhile back one of ur female black cats was named that
Very cool!
One of my favourite historical female caracters.
Thanks for watching
She will always be my favourite Egyptian queen.
Thanks for watching
I love queen Nefertiti. Your videos too
